Hello, I’m not sure if this is the correct section, as I have just registered, but as an ADS-B data contributor and working at a flight school, we have installed an ADS-B transponder on our training aircraft and would like to add it to the site’s database.

AirNav Radar Discussion / Re: Cannot configure airband receiver on Rpi 5

« Last post by abcd567 on March 18, 2026, 03:20:42 PM »

It seems the package rtl-airband-rb is not available in RB24 repository for bookworm and bullseye. I could find it only in RB24 repository for buster, that also armhf architecture.

Anyhow I downloaded the rtl-airband-rb armhf package and installed it on my RPi 4 with Bookworm by following method. As I don't have airband dongle, I could not test if it is functioning OK.
Please also see screenshot attached below

LATER ADDITION:
Tested this package using a generic DVB-T., it failed to run.
I then built the package from source-code, and it works ok on Bookworm. Please see next post below for details.

STEP-1

Code: [Select]

wget https://apt.rb24.com/pool/main/r/rtl-airband-rb/rtl-airband-rb_0.1.1-2020061700.1_armhf.deb  

sudo dpkg -i rtl-airband-rb_0.1.1-2020061700.1_armhf.deb

The second command above will give following message, listing dependency packages required to be installed to complete the installation:

Code: [Select]

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of rtl-airband-rb:armhf:
 rtl-airband-rb:armhf depends on libconfig++9v5 (>= 1.5-0.4~).
 rtl-airband-rb:armhf depends on libmp3lame0 (>= 3.100).
 rtl-airband-rb:armhf depends on librtlsdr0; however:
  Package librtlsdr0:armhf is not installed.
 rtl-airband-rb:armhf depends on libshout3 (>= 2.2.2).
 rtl-airband-rb:armhf depends on libstdc++6 (>= 5).
 rtl-airband-rb:armhf depends on libvorbisenc2 (>= 1.1.2).

dpkg: error processing package rtl-airband-rb:armhf (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:

Issue following command to install dependencies and complete installation

Code: [Select]

sudo apt -y --fix-broken install

STEP-2:
After installation is completed, you can open configuration file by command below and make necessary settings:

Code: [Select]

sudo nano /etc/rtl-airband-rb.conf

After modifications, save the file and restart rtl-airband-rb

Code: [Select]

sudo systemctl restartt rtl-airband-rb
